A quick update from this end.
I'm preparing for spring and summer adventures, so the next videos coming will be of the updated build. And more info and thoughts surrounding this car.
Some small changes, but also som big ones coming!
Most relaxing video I didn’t expect. Well done and nice Rover!!
I love the relaxed atmosphere you set in these videos, Kasper. Something I aspire to in my own films. And you make me reminisce about my Discovery 3! Looking forward to seeing you back on the road once you’ve finished the strip down.
Thanks! Glad to hear that it’s appreciated 🤝 looking forward to get it back in the road asap!
These cars need love and attention as they age, so cutting corners with cheap “blue boxes of joy” parts will cause them to fail quicker and drive up costs, having to do the same job twice. Use genuine parts where at all possible, get a solid mechanic who knows these cars inside and out, and don’t cut corners, they will reward you for many years to come.
Spot on. Bought it at 100 000 km some years back. Now at 265 000 and aiming for plenty more 🤝
I certainly agree with Mark on this. Buy cheap, buy twice…
Your Discovery is excellent, and it's in good company in that garage - the Hakosuka and 993 actually made me gasp!
it’s in good, and very different company 😂🤝
I kinda can see why you want to be a teacher (before), your voice is so calm and soothing, that you can describe things without raising your voice😀👌🏻
Still the best looking Discovery Land Rover ever made, hope you video your work on upgrading the truck.
Will film as much as possible this time 😅👍
I love the more in-depth car content! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks 🙏 more coming
That wheel set up info was super informative- everywhere I read that the reason for not fitting a bigger wheel set up on my 2016 was because or the size of the break calliper. Now i’m aware that even if I down size the mag (with only a couple options offered on the market) to fit bigger tires I would still need to cut down the frame. Still seems weird that LR would create from factory the only ‘’off road’’ vehicule in production with this 20inch wheel set up and not offer a real ‘’off roarder’’ edition. Love the channel, amazing quality of content, real good narrator.
Thanks Jay!
There is few 18» rims that fit over the larger front brakes, and some do grind down the cooling fins on them to fit smaller rims.
However there’s more and more brands stepping in and delivering 18” options for the D4 luckily.
265/65/18 and up you do need to modify both the front bumper a bit, and the frame is wise to keep everything working 100% in all conditions. Both in weird angles and in case of a suspension fault.
The rims I have have a different offset than stock, so they’re similar to using spacers. Which also makes clearance to the frame smaller. So it might me more room with a original offset and 265/65/18 but I don’t know for sure
I was wondering if you are you running 265/65/18 BFGs on those white wheels Kasper? I love the oem look you've achieved while correcting a bit from the factory which targets more common urban use; your wheel and tire setup is appealing to me for a more classic land rover capability that suits your style of vehicle usage.
Your videos are so beautiful and inspiring. The detail and care you put into each one definitely doesn't go unnoticed. I have a 2013 LR4 with the 5.0 and have put more than I'd like to admit into keeping her on the road. And as insane as it has been... I absolutely cannot believe how much I love the truck. I've probably owned 30 vehicles in my life and none of them have influenced me like this one. Thanks for sharing this!
Really cool to hear! I do envy the 5.0 petrol you guys have. They're a blessing and a curse, but honestly the best car imaginable for this!
Lykke til med oppgraderingen, kult med video i fra garasjen også!
Takker 😎🤝
They simply look the best. Love my D3....
Couldn’t agree more!
Great update Kasper, nice to see the build up close. If only my Freelander 1 was half as cool as your Disco! As always, keep up the good work, i always enjoy your vids. 🤙
Thanks man 🤝
Love it mate! Can’t wait to see more!
Cheers 🙏 will get more of this out very soon!
Another wonderful film. Still hoping to see how you've done the interior one day.
More on that, since it’s one of the things I think about redoing as well!
This video left me wanting for more! Congratulations for the build. It's so beautiful!
Plenty more to come! Just waiting for a few parts 📦
As always; magical. You somehow made me think about the wheels just a second before began talking about them, it was probably the foreshadowing in the clip on the beach where the wheels look like they are almost shining 2:12 . Really good!
Thanks man! Just a short one this time. Coming back with more as soon as I have the final parts on hand 🤝
I am about to get an LR4 of my own and this build is large inspiration for what I'd want to do with mine :) thanks for these videos
Awesome! I still love every drive in mine after more than 4 years 🙏
I have always thought that the Disco 4 is the perfect vehicle for overlanding, I very nearly bought one recently being a Land Rover fan and owner of an Range Rover L322 for over 10 years but for me I just couldn’t live with the constant worry of the crankshaft problem. I ended up going to the dark side and buying Japanese for my overland rig. I did a little different and bought a 2016 Subaru outback…..let’s see how it goes.
Great Video Kasper, looking forward to the next one already!
Cheers!
Thoroughly enjoyed this edit Kasper, looking forward to more garage updates, fantastic work as always. Keep up the good work and great content. 🔥
Thanks man!🙏
Nice video. Looking forward to se you take out the interior. I have not yet desided where to put the diesel heater in mine 😃
I’m actually moving that to a box in the roof, to minimize risk with using it 👍 removing the glass roof to make a air feed trough the roof
Fin video. Artig å se hva du har gjort med bilen.
Takker!
Always wonderful content Kasper! Envious of your production skills and color grading. From a viewer in South Korea!
Thanks!🤝
I love this garage so much
Hey Kasper, your channel has to be my favorite on youtube and your videos are some I aspire to make one day. What kind of camera do you use to film usually and are good in low light? Im just starting to get into filming after doing photography for a while.
Thanks,
Joseph
Didn’t see this! Gave you a reply on the new video 🤝
Those cars in the garage... would love to hear more of them! Or if the owner is somewhere in social media, could you point the channel?
The shot at 1:44 is just perfect
Excellent video as always. QQ the decals… did you get them custom?
Great video. I am currently bringing D3 back to life after my engine died in Norway on my Scandinavian adventure last year. I am replacing a lot of stuff and it all adds up but I want to do it right and donut once to enable me to get longevity out of the job. Looking forward to following your rebuild and the improvements along the way. When are you off to Inverness?
A small “refurbish” this time, mostly cosmetic actually hah. Hoping to make it over when I have more free time in my hands to stay longer!
Hello. This video is excellent. Thank you. I have a 2013 LR4 and would like to mimic your wheel setup. Is reducing the frame horn by an inch the only modification you recommend while I have the wheels removed? Also, the white rims are beautiful. Who is the manufacturer?
Can we all just appreciate the proper phone resolution?! 😳🚀🚀🚀

@@kasperhoglund I always on my TV, but yesterday.... Toilet 😂😂😂 you know how it is 😀
Hi Kasper.
Once again loving your videos.
Couple of questions please.
What air pressure would you recommend for daily driving on 18s.
Do you have a video showing cutting the plastic at the front of the wheel arch
Oh by the way I have same wheels as yours in black but 265/60/18 tyres.
Thanks.
Cheers! I’m at 265/65/18 and cut off the lower “lip” of the bumper going towards the wheels. And moved the arch further away and fasting with self tapering screws from underneath! Not filmed it though
@@kasperhoglund
Thankyou for the reply. I will have a go.
Hi Kasper. Could you please tell me what mount did you use for the 3 light pods in the front of the grill? And what are the 3 light pods? I really love the set up!
Snyggt jobbat!!
Takk🤝
Such a cool build! I just bought an LR3 to overland in do you have any links to where I can find some of the aftermarket parts you have used for your build?
What are the plans for the summer? I am looking to buy the same car atm, and go and travel Europe with it. (also a filmmaker and photographer).
Would love to meet up if you go the same direction.
Only plan is that I’m somewhere further north this summer I think 🙏 send a DM on insta when you’re over, and we’ll see where our roads line up😎
What do you think of ko2 in winter ice conditions? I know nothing can compare to piggdekk, but just wondering about your opinion.
Good question. It’s obviously not the best on ice and snow, but if you get a good feel of where the limit is. And take the time to air out a bit when needed, it’s surprisingly good! And considering I can drive at full speed on highways during summer without thinking about them. But still air out and drive up super deep snow and slippery ice in -20… I feel like it’s unbeatable just because it can do it all.
It is a triple peak M+S with “seipa” groves, and I have seen different types further south in EU. So I believe there is different specs available
Wait so even with the Noroadclub TuffAnt 18" steel wheels and BFG ko2 you HAVE to cut the frame to fit it on a Disco 4?
Not if you order the usual size. But if you want 265/65/18 or bigger. The 265/65 size works well, but will rub on full lock. Which is bad for many reason, but also makes the car not pass MOT/ EU inspection here.
Now that I have that cut, I can also bump up one extra size with my next tire setup.
@@kasperhoglund Cheers mate! Looking forward to seeing the final result. So the 265/60/18" will fit without cutting?
@@thomasliersch1518 I’m almost certain, since mine only slightly touched the frame. But send no road club a message on insta if you want to double check. He’s the best lad 🤌
As a lr4 owner. Why not a toyota for big overlanding?
Prefer a Land Rover tbh 🤌
@@kasperhoglund 3.0 engine famous for crankshaft cracks, not funny 1000km from civilization. But I prefer lr as well, are we crazy?
Kasper, why don't you go south and get some sun
Norway is really pretty though 😮💨🤌 but somewhere south when the winter comes doesn’t sound wrong either
